Or maybe the fact that's all so derivative - second-rate versions of Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix, with nothing new to add. Why is it that I take exception to a musician because, although he can definitely play his instrument, he pulls silly faces while he plays. Gurning away like a constipated seal, while he stomps his feet and throws his head from side to side, like a cross between Stevie Wonder, John Lee Hooker and one of the muppets (but not in a good way).

What is so troubling about that? Are we in this horrendously post-modern age where nobody should express themselves, nobody is allowed to be sincere? Or maybe it's that I don't believe that he is sincere. That the silly faces are an act, part of his schtick, another approximation of authenticity that rings hollow.
